CanadaPlus , (edited ) to asklemmy in Lemmy's how do you feel about Kamala Harris now that she picked Tim Walz? Will you vote for her or the orange?

There’s very few Americans who hadn’t completely decided already, maybe a couple percent. Of those couple percent, maybe a percent have an opinion on Tim Walz. And most of them are from Minnisota.

ilinamorato ,

The polls seem to disagree with you, at least before Harris’ pick of Walz was announced. She’s peeled off a solid 5-6% from Trump in some states, turning him from a +4 favorite to a -1 tossup in some Georgia polls, for example, or turning a Trump +3 favorite in Pennsylvania into a Harris +3 favorite between Biden’s decision to suspend his campaign and late last week.

I’m not expecting to see Walz’s announcement making any big waves right away, but it gives them a chance to extend the excitement cycle for a while.

Not from the US, but if I was I’d 100% be voting for Harris.

Back when they had consistent style guidelines to follow (I remember reading them, along with deep descriptions of how PnP actually works - yuck!).

Now they just throw shit at the wall it seems

modifier , to science_memes in Science is Magic

As a former evangelical Christian, the natural universe we inhabit is magical and exciting and fascinating in a way that it simply isn’t when you believe it was the creation of an all-powerful God as basically a training ground for Heaven or whatever.

There is so much more to learn and understand. It is fucking awesome!

orbitz ,

I do agree but if you wanted to make to case for ‘God’ they could have made sure some of their creatures evolved to understand his work, assuming they did it in a logical way. I’m not a person with faith but just try and think a way is possible, though usually trying to understand weird comic and media universe type actions.

We are the way for a universe to understand itself (paraphrased from Sagan). Though his writing is much more interesting than this comment. I just think there’s room for belief if it works for people, but not for the strict literal interpretations that many seem to believe.

modifier ,

That Sagan phrase inspired me to adapt a Descartes principle:

Because I am conscious, the universe is conscious.

Revan343 ,

A horse walks into a bar, and the bartender says “Say, you’re in here a lot, are you maybe an alcoholic?”

The horse says “I don’t think I am.” and immediately vanishes.

I would have said at the start that it was going to be a Descartes joke, but that would have been putting Descartes before de horse

orbitz ,

I’m not sure I’ve heard that one, very similar and awesome. I should read some of him, yes I know very famous just something I haven’t got around to doing.

modifier ,

I’m glad you haven’t heard it because from my perspective, the universe thought I had come up with it myself, haha. But I haven’t read Descartes either, so I cannot say for certain.

applebusch ,

As someone raised by Christians I’m glad you made it out too.

modifier ,

That is very kind of you to say, and the same to you.

KillingTimeItself ,

i think if we’re arguing anything as magic, it’s probably the fact that we’re here, on earth, and that earth is the perfect planet, and that it has plenty of resources for us to exploit, and that we just happen to be intelligent forms of life capable of exploiting such resources.

Who gives a fuck about anything else when the pure and fundamental question of “why us” is literally the only thing you need to keep your going until you die.

MerchantsOfMisery , to nostupidquestions in How Do You Explain to a Fully Grown Adult That Constantly Mocking Others' Appearance (Even on TV) is Toxic Behavior?

I don’t. As I get older, I find myself far less inclined to spend energy talking to people like this. I’m tired, and I’m not even in my 40s yet.

    I’m curious, can you share some of the reasons you’ve decided against voting?

    Don_Dickle OP ,

    Same here unfortunately. Since in the state where I am from does all electronic and I can’t do a write in ballet…otherwise it would be my dog Buddy for president.

    lemmefixdat4u ,

    When you shop for a place to live, do you buy/rent nothing because nothing is “perfect”? Or do you weigh the benefits and detriments of each available option and choose the best one?

    There’s a clear choice, and if you need to see what voter apathy gets you, look at Venezuela. We got a second chance because the Jan 6 attempt failed. If you don’t vote, the usurper might win.

    Don_Dickle OP ,

    I would rather buy if i settled down or retired. I never weigh the benefits because I am always renting…well at least for the past 15 years. In my circumstance it is the best option. I currently can’t vote because I am not currently in my home state. I would vote harris but can’t vote because the rest of the year is filled with contracts for me to travel.

    lemmefixdat4u ,

    Absentee ballot. Always worked for me in the Navy.

    Don_Dickle OP ,

    And you can write in whomever? How do I get one? Not in the Navy but would just like to see my dog on the ballot lol.

    Rivalarrival ,

    Absentee ballots work just like in-person ballots. You just mail them in instead of dropping them in the box at the polling place.

    What state are you in? It’s not hard to request an absentee ballot.

    jmp242 ,

    I find it fascinating that you have no preference between the candidates. Do you really think it won’t matter which wins?

    I hoped so in 2016,but then we saw what happened after that.

    Don_Dickle OP ,

    I am still going to vote but voting for my dog Buddy…in hoping that they can say Buddy got 1 percent of even a vote.

    LastoftheDinosaurs ,
    @LastoftheDinosaurs@reddthat.com avatar

    Hey, I get that writing in your dog might seem funny, but this election is way too important for that. If people don’t take voting seriously, it increases the chances of someone like Trump winning again in 2024. And with things like Project 2025 on the horizon, which aims to reshape the government in ways that could really hurt a lot of people, every vote really does count. We need to stick together and vote wisely if we want to avoid some serious consequences.

    Don_Dickle OP ,

    all right all right lemmys I will vote…but I want dog treats sent from all of you MF’ers that say I should not do a write in. So I can feed them to Buddy. Hell I will have to take down the sign that says Buddy for 2024

    Simmy , to asklemmy in Lemmy's how do you feel about Kamala Harris now that she picked Tim Walz? Will you vote for her or the orange?

    Thought Lemmy was worldwide, don’t like either red or blue. Can’t vote anyways.

    themurphy ,

    Both red and blue are right wing compared to the rest of the western world.

    None of them are good, but one is plain evil, and is not even hiding it anymore.

    CaptainBasculin , to asklemmy in Lemmy's how do you feel about Kamala Harris now that she picked Tim Walz? Will you vote for her or the orange?

    Not voting, because not my candidate.

    whotookkarl , to youshouldknow in YSK Americans, check to see if you can vote. Its real quick.
    @whotookkarl@lemmy.world avatar

    If you’re in Michigan the secretary of state website has a registration check and sample ballots but other sites have sample ballots too. That allows time to look into candidates, review voting history, maybe watch an interview or two, before going to vote.

    Sequentialsilence , to asklemmy in Lemmy's how do you feel about Kamala Harris now that she picked Tim Walz? Will you vote for her or the orange?

    They could have run the actual orange fruit and I would have voted for that over the orange cry baby.

    We need more than 2 parties. fml.

    NONE_dc ,
    @NONE_dc@lemmy.world avatar

    Believe me, even with more parties, politicians would manage to monopolize the attention of voters by assimilating smaller parties into “coalitions”. Take for example my country Venezuela, there are supposed to be about 30 parties, but half of them were consumed by the PSUV (the ruling party) and the other half are barely creating an opposition coalition, bringing us closer to bipartisanship.

    aleph , (edited )
    @aleph@lemm.ee avatar

    30 is way too many. Ideally, you want about 4-5 parties in order to maintain a healthy democracy without getting bogged down.

    Either way, the two party corporate duopoly of the US ain’t it.

    dormedas ,

    Only way to get to more than 2 parties is to vote for the one party that doesn’t want a dictatorship, sadly.
